Next: Carlyle Up: Seeds Previous: Annenberg Kemeny It is high time to talk about the influence of John Kemeny. John Kemeny was a philosopher, a mathematician, a computer pioneer, and the n th President of Dartmouth College. He was also a dear colleague and friend. The project outlined here owes everything to John Kemeny, and my first thought was to call it the `Kemeny Collection', in honor of John. In the end, I have reluctantly decided against this, for reasons that I will explain presently. First I want to make clear the many ways in which John's words and actions have influenced the shape of this project. John's visionary article on `The Library of the Future' has served as a goad for us in launching this project. This article portrayed an electronic world where any book would be available immediately. The failure of technology to meet the predictions that John made half a century ago has been a considerable disappointment to me, and this project hopes to help in making John's vision of instant access to information a reality. Where John was thinking about books, we are thinking about more general materials, tailored to a more specific purpose. Still, the original vision came from John. As the co-inventor of Basic and the force behind the development of the world's first working time-sharing system, John did more than anyone I know to bring the power of the computer available to the public. His vision of universal access to computing had a profound effect on my own life. I see this project as an extension of John's commitment to universal access. Here the emphasis is on information, rather than computing, but the motivation is the same, and the inspiration comes from John.

Next: About this document ... True Basic A sketch of John Kemeny for the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine Nardi Reeder Campion Date: December 13, 2001 The newspaper said John G. Kemeny, 13th president of Dartmouth College, died of heart failure. Clearly this was a mistake. John Kemeny's heart never failed anyone. It was altogether fitting that at St. Thomas Episcopal Church we prayed for "the eternal rest of President Kemeny's immortal soul." Although he was a Jew, in John Kemeny there was no east nor west, no north nor south. He was an ecumenical man in the truest sense of the word: "of or from the whole world." During that service Gil Tanis '38, who served President Kemeny as an executive officer, rose to speak. The laudatory obits in the Times and the Globe, Tanis said, "ignored an important fact about Kemeny: his love of teaching. No matter how crowded his schedule, John Kemeny found time to teach. Teaching was his joy." In fact, John Kemeny agreed to become president of Dartmouth in 1970 on one condition: that he be allowed to continue teaching. When the chairman of the Board of Trustees objected-the presidency was too demanding-Kemeny asked what the Trustees would say if he wanted two hours off each week to play golf. That did it. Throughout his presidency he taught two classes a year, from far-out computer science to freshman math. Having lamented that "math is the only subject you can study for l4 years and not learn a single thing that has been done since 1800," he and his math colleague, Laurie Snell, strung logic, probability, and matrix algebra into a course so fresh that it merited a new name: Finite Math. Professor Kemeny was "remarkable in his ability to understand what a student didn't understand and re-explain it," recalls former student Rob Salzman '76.

BASIC was the first computer language to run seamlessly on computers made by different manufacturers. Photo courtesy of Dartmouth College Kemeny, John G. (1926-1992) As computer use caught on in businesses during the 1960s and 1970s, a key stumbling block was the difficulty of configuring computer systems to the specific demands of individual corporate users. Writing a customized application was a time-consuming task that took the combined skills of numerous, specially trained programmers. For many users, the only practical solution to the problem was to submit programs on punch cards to a central mainframe and then wait several hours for the mainframe to process the result. Because all the processing power was at the mainframe computer, simultaneous data collaboration between end users was virtually impossible. A programming language that would fix these flaws was sorely needed. As a mathematical assistant to Albert Einstein during his graduate school days at Princeton, John Kemeny helped solve this problem with his development of the BASIC (Beginner’s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) programming language. Working with fellow Dartmouth College mathematician, Thomas Kurtz, the Hun....

Next: About this document ... John George Kemeny (May 13, 1926-December 26, 1992) Obituary for Manchester Guardian J. Laurie Snell Date: December 1992 John Kemeny will be remembered for his contributions to computing and mathematics education, and also for the sweeping changes he brought to Dartmouth during his eleven years as president of this prestigious Ivy League college. Born in Budapest, Hungary, Kemeny came to the United States in 1940 and, after completing his high school education in New York, attended Princeton University. His undergraduate work was interrupted while he worked on the Manhatten project in Los Alamos. Kemeny's student years were times of exciting developments in mathematics, particularly in the areas of logic and computing. John took full advantage of his opportunity to learn from the greats; he worked with fellow Hungarians John von Neumann and Leo Szilard at Los Alamos, wrote his Ph.D. thesis with Alonzo Church, and was a research assistant to Albert Einstein. He was on his way to a traditional distinguished scholarly career as a promising young assistant professor at Princeton with a joint appointment in mathematics and philosophy when he decided instead to accept the challenge of developing a new mathematics department at a college which he had barely heard of and which was certainly not known as a center of excellence in mathematics. Kemeny came to Dartmouth only 27 year old and was given great freedom to develop a mathematics program. He had already written his first book A Philosopher Looks at Science that had been well received. Even at this early age Kemeny showed the special abilities that were to become his trademark. He was extremely bright and a remarkable problem solver. Given a complex problem, be it mathematical, political, or social, John could come up with a simple, elegant and practical solution. One of the first to anticipate the central role that computing would come to play in our world, Kemeny insisted that some knowledge of computing was an integral part of a liberal education. To make the computer accessible to undergraduates, a notion nearly unheard of at the time, he and his colleague Tom Kurtz developed one of the world's first time-sharing systems.

Obituary of John Kemeny obituary John G. Kemeny , born May 31, 1926, president of Dartmouth College from 1971 to 1980, was a mathematician and an assistant to Albert Einstein. Kemeny, who served as president of Dartmouth from 1970 to 1981, was a Hungarian by birth, a Princetonian by education and an esteemed mathematician. Reversing a 203-year tradition of single-sex education, he presided over the coeducation of Dartmouth in 1972. He also instituted the "Dartmouth Plan" of year-round operations, thereby allowing a significant increase in the size of the student body without a corresponding increase in the college's physical facilities. During his administration Dartmouth became more active in recruiting and retaining minority students and revived its founding commitment to providing education for Native Americans. In addition to his contributions to Dartmouth, Kemeny worked in the theoretical division of the Los Alamos Project, was a research assistant to Albert Einstein and chaired the 12-person commission organized by President Carter to investigate the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant accident. The co-inventor, with Thomas Kurtz, of the BASIC computer language, Kemeny made Dartmouth a pioneer in student use of computers, equating computer literacy with reading literacy. Starting in 1959 with a Royal McBee LGP-30, Kemeny and Kurtz searched for a way to bring computing to undergraduates at Dartmouth College. With Fernando Corbató's development of time-sharing in 1961, they saw a way to reach their goal and conceived a system that would not only serve students' educational needs but also permit implementation by students. With Thomas Kurtz he invented the programming language Basic and the Dartmouth Time Sharing System (DTSS).

6:26 PM Fearless Leader CIS Program Gerard Learmonth Blake Ives Dartmouth College Computer and Information Systems [ CIS ] History Between 1980 to 1988 M.S. degrees were granted in the Computer and Information Science Masters level program, which combined studies in information systems and business . the graduate program was concieved by Thomas Kurtz and John kemeny in the late 1970's and started up in 1980. The CIS program had to go on without John Kemeny when President Carter in 1979 selected him to head the Three Mile Island investigation. The CIS program, while innovative, failed to gain a 'critical mass'. In 1988 the program was terminated. However, the concept of Computer and Information programs has been widely adopted, since, at many other colleges and universities throughout the world. Maybe, the Dartmouth CIS program was ahead of its time? Dartmouth College has a long history with computer science beginning in 1887 when Harry Bates Th'79 designed an electrical punch-card machine. In the 1960's Dartmouth pioneered the use of the time-sharing operating system, and two professors, John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz, developed the BASIC programming language. In 1968 a Ph.D for a dissertation about programming language implementation was granted by the Mathematics Department. Not until 1979 was there an undergraduate major in Computer Science created. The Ph.D program in Computer Science was approved in 1986.
